[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]And Bernie Sanders said this: "You go to Scandinavia, and you will find that people have a much higher standard of living, in terms of education, health care and decent paying jobs." All true, but he's not taking into account that especially high personal debt people incur because they're paying such high taxes. [/quote]

Add in college debt to the US side of the equation given that tuition is free in Scandinavian countries and I bet the equation doesn't look so bad.

Yes, but the argument then becomes about choice. Do I want to go to college? Do I want to go that super expensive private college or can I go to a less expensive state school? Can I get a scholarship to help pay for it? These are all choices people get to make when it comes to their finances. With taxes, there are no choices. So if I'm in Denmark, I may get free healthcare and education but I'm accumulating an average 310 percent personal debt. Forget vacations or maybe a newer car one day. I'm in too much debt and have too many taxes. [/quote]
